Planning Completed

The proposed action is to seasonally close public access to BLM land within the Phillip W. Schneider Wildlife Area (PWSWA) from February 1 through April 14 annually. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) has already taken this action on lands they own within the PWSWA.

Based on the analysis documented in the Environmental Assessment (DOI-BLM-ORP000-2011-0055-EA) and the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), it is my decision to implement Alternative B, Proposed Action, with minor alterations, because it best meets the purpose and need of the project.
